Condolences       to #1 from: James Mace   Sat, Jan 17, 2026 at 4:00 PM Many years ago while the Buckeyes still played at St. John Arena, my wife and I shared a season ticket with Phil and Nancy.  When we went to split the games up, Nancy bargained harder than Phil for the best.  As they say in baseball, she was a tough out.  May God rest her soul and bring peace and comfort to the Ballinger family. #2 from: Eileen Steinman Tucson AZ Sat, Jan 17, 2026 at 7:15 PM Phil.i'm so saddened to learn of Nancy's desth.
